Patent CA-2517374-A1 (CA)
Inventor: REGENFUSS PETER
IPC: B22F10/28
Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: The invention relates to methods and devices for producing miniature bodies or microstructured bodies on a support in a processing chamber in a vacuum or protective gas atmosphere, using laser beams of at least one laser that is placed inside or outside said chamber, whereby the laser beams are guided over the surface of the support that is provided with particles. The miniature bodies and the microstructured bodies are formed from particles that are applied in layers. Spacer bodies, which are likewise configured from particles that are applied in layers, are situated between the support and the miniature bodies. Said spacer bodies are produced by irradiation by the laser beams in such a way that particles are sintered in a partially planar, planar or linear manner on the corresponding plane to form small spacer bodies that have contact area structures and voids and can thus be destroyed and subsequently removed from the support and the miniature bodies or microstructured bodies.  Spacer bodies are simultaneously formed with a static stability, allowing a secure positioning of the miniature bodies or microstructured bodies in relation to one another on the support and/or in the powder bed.

Title: Method of wrapping products
Inventor: JOHNSON STEVEN
IPC: B31B50/16
Filed: 2004-05-21
Abstract: Soap bars are packaged in a single sheet of material which can be plastic, paper, paperboard or combinations of these materials in the form of laminates.  The soap bars are packaged in high-speed machines at more than about 50/minute. The single sheet of material is die cut to form a main section with the top, bottom and longitudinal side panels and end flaps appended to each panel. In order to promote folding at the desired points the sheet of material is weakened by scoring, perforating or scoring at the fold points. This weakening can be done just prior to feeding to the wrapping machine or at the time of die cutting. The die cutting can be done at the time of feeding in to the wrapping machine. The packaged soap bar will have planar end surfaces so that the package can stand on end and can have corner vents to permit the escape of some moisture and some fragrance at the point of sale.

Title: Method for optimizing veneer peeling
Inventor: HYYSTI MIKA
IPC: B27L5/02
Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for optimizing the veneer yield in veneer peeling. The contour of the log to be peeled is determined and the peeling axes at the ends of the log are determined by simulating the veneer yield. The desired veneer yield is determined at least as two veneer products having their own grades. These desired veneer products serve as basic values for the optimizing calculation. The maximum grade of the veneer yield is calculated, based on the dimensions and grades of the veneer products, as well as by iterating the places of the peeling axes and simulating the peeling process.  When the peeling axes of the log ends giving the maximum grade yield have been found, the log is placed according the these peeling axes in the lather and peeled into a veneer web to be cut with a clipper into said desired veneer products.

Inventor: LUNDBY STEIN A
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2004-09-21
Abstract: An efficient use of communication resources is provided by determining a behavior for selecting the payload size (data rate) of a reverse link transmission from a mobile station to a base station. The mobile station may store a predetermined table including the ratio of the power levels of the traffic channel and pilot channel (TPR), where each entry corresponds to a size of data payload, and consequently a data rate for transmission in a predetermined time frame. The payload size is selected based on an authorized-TPR. The authorized-TPR and a target-TPR are adjusted in accordance with TPR  commands received from the base station. A fast-ramp-up adjustment of the authorized-TPR is carried out when the authorized-TPR is less than the target-TPR. The down TPR commands are ignored in the adjustments of the authorized-TPR upon fast-ramp-up mode.

Title: Method of super super decoupled loadflow computation for electrical power system
Inventor: PATEL SURESHCHANDRA B
IPC: H02J3/06
Filed: 2003-08-29
Abstract: A method of performing loadflow computations for controlling voltages and power flow in a power network by reading on-line data of given/specified/scheduled/set network variables/parameters and using control means, so that no component of the power network is overloaded as well as there is no over/under voltage at any nodes in the network following a small or large disturbances. The invented generalized Super Super Decoupled Loadflow (SSDL) computation method is characterized in that 1) modified real power mismatch at any PQ-node-p is calculated as RP p =[.DELTA.P p' +(G pp'/ B pp').DELTA.Q p'] / V p 2, which takes different form for different manifestation of the generalized version SSDL-X'X' method, 2) transformed values of known/given/specified/scheduled/set quantities in the diagonal elements of the gain matrix [YV]  of the Q-V sub-problem are present, and 3) transformation angles are restricted to maximum of -48° particularly for the most successful version SSDL-YY method, and these inventive loadflow computation steps together yield some processing acceleration and consequent efficiency gains, and are each individually inventive. The other two Super Super Decoupled Loadflow methods:  BGX' version (SSDL-BGX') and X'G pv X' version (SSDL-X'GpvX') are characterized in the use of simultaneous (1V, 1.theta.) iteration scheme thereby calculating mismatches only once in each iteration and consequent efficiency gain.
